  3. We were so saddened to hear about the death of Ray. He was such a fighter and said he'll never give up and had such a wonderful attitude. Heremodeled our home and was such a wonderful person to work with – always made you feel comfortable and really took care of each request and would just say when we would bring up a new problem, "don't worry about it, I'll handle it". We will have a difficult time ever finding someone who is so confident and does such good work with such a great attitude and was so honest. He will be missed by our family, not only as a wonderful contractor/builder but as a friend. Heaven has gained a jewel.
